The Reverend Oxford Christie has
a good ministry. Then he is called to the nondenominational Church of the
One Soul in Philadelphia. But . . . what happened to the congregation?
No one has joined the church for many years. The previous minister’s portrait
is now hanging in the basement far from all eyes. Though there is a cemetery,
there are no graves for the spouses of the remaining members. Something
sinister has taken over the church. But those left behind won’t talk about
it. Then, his first sermon obviously makes his new congregatioon uncomfortable.

The church secretary, named Angel,
is clearly hiding something. Nehmi, the caretaker, lurks about, watching
Ox’s every move. Ammahn, a visitor, seems to be a prospective parishioner,
yet he sneaks in and sits in the back pew, never talking to anyone. Cynthia
Neal, a young woman who is a violin virtuoso, says she is drawn to
the church through sounds emanating from its core, of which only she is
aware. What's more, Ox learns that Emmett and Mary Jane, two new visitors,
are actually undercover detectives investigating an old still-open
case involving the church.

It is said “The truth shall
set you free,” but what is found in the deep recesses
of this sanctuary will haunt you for eternity.. . .
